On the Democratic side, 51% say Clinton is their top choice for the nomination, 43% Sanders, that's about the same as in March. And enthusiasm for a Clinton candidacy has grown as her chances of winning enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee have increased. In the new poll, 41% say they would be enthusiastic about her candidacy, up from 34% in March.
But more see the Democratic Party as divided now than said so in March. Overall, 69% say the party is split, up from 59% in March. Nearly a quarter now say the Democratic Party is likely to remain divided through November, up 8 points from 15% in March. Sanders' backers are more likely to say the Party will remain divided, 31% say so vs. 15% among Clinton supporters.
